Product Information

As well as following the directions on the bottle (for example, age restrictions on the use of certain formulations), it is important that repellents are applied as a thin, even covering on all exposed areas of skin,” says medical entomologist Cameron Webb, Ph.D. “A dab here and there is not going to provide adequate protection.” But it's not as easy as just dousing yourself with bug spray. You need to know how to apply it, how often to reapply, and how to layer it with your favorite SPF.

Avon Skin-So-Soft comes in many different forms, all with varying levels of reliability when it comes to repelling mosquitoes, but there are 3 types that are touted as being good repellents: bath oil, lotion, and bug guard. Icaridin works similar to DEET, but its adoption is not as widespread. For example, Canada only allowed the use of icaridin in 2012, a long time after the United States and the United Kingdom did. Sometimes, using bath oil, like Avonʹs Skin So Soft, will work to loosen the glue which holds the nits toHowever, the time of effectiveness varies from study to study. One study showed that Avon Skin-So-Soft worked for 40 minutes, ranking below DEET products 3 while another showed a 5-hour working time. 4 Though it’s unclear if the 40-minute study used Avon’s Bug Guard repellent brand, despite mentioning it in the paper . Also, the 5-hour study used Avon products that contained icaridin, an ingredient found in some lower-tier repellents, at least in Canada . You might also find some products that are bug spray-sunscreen combos. Although this might sound like a good idea in theory, the AAP recommends avoiding these products since you need to reapply sunscreen far more often than you should put on bug spray. This may lead to excessive exposure to DEET, which might increase risk of skin irritation, allergic reaction and other adverse effects. Pet’s with Sensitive Skin: Donʹt overuse the SSS.

DEET: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the organization that regulates insect repellents, says DEET is safe for use on babies — if parents follow directions on the label to use the product safely. It is also one of the most effective bug repellents on the market. (As mentioned earlier, you should not use DEET on babies younger than 2 months.) Again, the percentage of DEET in a product indicates how long the spray will be effective. A higher concentration works for a longer period of time — so 10 percent DEET provides protection for about two hours, whereas 30 percent DEET protects for about five hours. Although the latter may seem preferable, the AAP and EPA says higher concentrations can cause skin rashes in children, especially those with sensitive skin, so experts suggest using less concentrated formulas.
